3/4
 
"The movie plunges into this rank, choppy water and churns through it with a busily whirring story line and clear sense of purpose. The ride becomes its own satisfying reward, complete with the bumps and lurches along the way."

The Bank Job (2008)77%

2.5/4
 
"It all plays out as you know it must, right down to [Brian] Cox's narrative revelation at the end, but that doesn't diminish the sense of satisfaction this gratifying family entertainment delivers."

2/4
 
"Stylized but spasmodic, this Sweeney seems more interested in distancing than captivating an audience."

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)86%
/
2/4
 
"There are lots of potent things floating around in it -- sexual initiation, drugs, fantasy-land wealth, brute violence, primitive rituals, Diane Lane and Donald Sutherland -- but the mix just sits there without producing any notable reactions."

Fierce People (2007)24%

2/4
 
"This film apparently sat around for a few years before being released. It's unlikely to make waves now, but Thornton and Scott do set off a few entertaining ripples."

"Live-In Maid is a modest chamber piece enriched by its affecting human harmonies and overtones."

"Blunt, bloody and far too busy with its sledgehammer plot and mighty gunplay to waste time on the main character's inner life, Death Sentence is a baseline entertainment."

Death Sentence (2007)17%

4/4
 
"An exceptionally powerful film driven by contradictory forces."

"La Vie en Rose is a life seen through a glass tinted darkly, with Cotillard glittering fiercely before the light goes out."

"Wrestling With Angels is a canny piece of filmmaking, sure to absorb both audiences familiar with Kushner's plays and those who know little or nothing about him."

Wrestling with Angels: Playwright Tony Kushner (2006)72%

"... an uneven, spasmodic film."

"Well-observed but self-consciously studied family drama."

Ann Rule Presents The Stranger Beside Me (2003)n/a
/
4/4
 
"The unnerving brilliance of the film owes to the director's skill at assembling information and allowing it to speak for itself."
Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
Hearts and Minds (1975)100%
/
1/4
 
"More catalog than comedy, a checklist of erotically twisted dysfunctions strung together to fill 89 minutes of chirpy, stylized screen time."
Posted Sep 24, 2004
 
A Dirty Shame (2004)53%
/
2/4
 
"This stylized romantic comedy offers limited, largely synthetic rewards."
Posted Nov 14, 2003
 
Anything But Love (2003)38%

2/4
 
"For all its scope and detail, Luther fails to convey the sense of history moved by a compelling individual."

"The weight of the film's opaque, numbingly studied details ... is oppressive."
Posted Feb 4, 2002
 
What Time Is It There? (2002)84%
/
2/4
 
"The film may turn out to have been more of a stylistic adventure for the director than for an audience."
